At Goodstart Torquay we are committed to being leaders in reconciliation, demonstrating our active respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within the area, and across the continent.
We will continue to work to support children to recognise the true meaning of reconciliation; to strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.
Reconciliation, to us, means fostering an atmosphere within our centre that is welcoming for all people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous alike, and wherein people feel safe to be themselves and have the opportunity to share their customs and cultures . Whether they are a staff member, child, family or visitor, we want everyone to experience equality and equity within our community.
